GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The Clayton High School experience is definitely something unique. All though it is a school for a small south Jersey town, it is full of different experiences. There are sports all the way from bowling and swimming to the generic sports like football and basketball. Clubs to envelope everyone whether you like art or video games.

I absolutely love being a student of Clayton High School. The teachers and administrators are amazing. It is a very small school, meaning we have a very tight-knit community, and everybody in the school does everything. In big schools, people usually only do one or two things. In CHS, it is not at all uncommon to see the star jock on the stage of the musical.

I have never had a teacher that truly cared whether I succeeded or failed. It's unfortunate that for such a small school, there can't be more one on one time with teachers. I have tried to arrange for help on several occasions throughout my high school years and haven't had any luck. I would like to think I am prepared for college life but I guess I won't really know until I have experienced going to college.

There standardize testing scores are below the state average year in and year o...
